Chapter 168 - #167 Taeko, Loris & Meela (2/2)

”You are of the same height as us so shut up” Meela and Loris replied while drawing out a set of dual dagger knives.

Both Meela and Loris looked at each other and nodded their head before kicking off the ground, sprinting towards Dorothea with a smile on their faces. As they were nearing her, they were exchanging their positions, trying to confuse their opponent.

'They are pretty fast so I guess I won't get a chance to take a bite...' Dorothea thought as she narrowed her eyes.

Loris was the first one to struck her knife towards Dorothea's midsection, Dorothea quickly moved a few steps behind to move out of her range but Meela suddenly appeared behind Loris and jumped over her shoulders, slashing her knives at Dorothea's neck.

Dorothea ducked down to dodge her attack while trying to grab Meela by her ankle.

'Hm?!' Before she was able to grab her ankle, she was intercepted by Loris once again.

Meela was once again behind Loris who once again struck her knife towards Dorothea's shoulder.

In a counter-attack, Dorothea lowered herself a bit to let Loris's attack miss by a little above her shoulder and she quickly used that chance to grab Loris's wrist and throw Loris over her shoulder.

While Loris was upside down, instead of having panicked expression, she was still smiling as she used her other hand performing a piercing attack towards Dorothea's face.

'?!' Dorothea's eyes widened a bit when she noticed this attack but she was still able to quickly enough tilt her head to the side, resulting only in a little scratch on her cheek.

*BAM* *cough* Loris's body finally got slammed against the ground as she coughed out. Dorothea wanted to use this chance and take a bite of Loris but she sensed danger coming from behind her.

'Tsk! These two kids are so annoying!' Dorothea thought as she performed roundhouse kick from the spin.

Meela put both of her hands up to block Dorothea's kick but she was still surprised when the attack actually blew her small petite body a few meters away. Although she completely blocked any damage, the impact still forced her back but when she stood up, she actually smiled at Dorothea despite failing to attack her.

*splash*

Dorothea who still had one leg in the air after that attack felt a stinging pain in her Achilles' heel from the other leg which made her almost lose her balance but despite feeling the pain, she once again spun around and kicked Loris who was still lying on the ground.

Loris put both her hands in front of her face before receiving the kick head-on but Oarburgh had their own body manipulation so despite her having a small and petite body, she was able to easily fight numerous muscular men. She actually used Dorothea's kick to get up and retreat some distance away from Dorothea.

'This teamwork of theirs is really annoying!' Dorothea gritted her teeth in frustration since the entire series of attacks happened within a few seconds and she was falling behind.

Meela didn't let her have a moment to breathe so she once again attacked when Dorothea's back was facing her, just for Dorothea to turn around with an irritated expression on her face. She took out a weird tube and released a gas inside it at Meela when she was near enough.

Meela was confident in her poison resistance but she still took a deep breath before preparing to rush through the gas to surprise Dorothea.

However, to Meela's surprise when she entered the gas, her entire body became paralyzed. Dorothea finally smiled as she quickly jumped at Meela to take a bite of her.

”Meela!” Loris shouted as her pupils enlarged, she kicked off the ground, trying to get to them in time. Her speed reached completely new level.

”Tch! You are annoying!” Dorothea noticed that if she were to take a bite, she will also lose her head so instead of biting Meela, she kicked her into her face and Meela had to take it head-on without blocking.

”MEELA!” This enraged Loris as she started furiously attack Dorothea.

Dorothea began dodging Loris's attacks but she was slowly falling a short due to her injured leg, she also felt her body becoming slower each second.

'What is this? A poison? I should be resistant towards most of the poisons...it must be a special one for it to work on me. Anyway, at least I have only one person to focus on-' Dorothea thought with a small smile as she continued successfully dodging Loris's attacks, she even began reading her attack patterns and the only thing remaining was to wait for the perfect time to attack back. However, as she was thinking about when to attack, she felt a danger behind her.

'She can already move, are you kidding me?!' Dorothea perfectly knew who it was but she had to stay focused on Loris so she just kicked out behind her.

Meela who finally recovered was completely furious with a footprint over her face so when she saw another kick aiming at her midsection she grew even more furious. She hardened her muscles and actually took the kick head-on but she immediately caught Dorothea's leg with one hand just not to get blown away and with her other hand she pierced Dorothea's entire calf with her knife before letting go of Dorothea's leg and jumping away from her.

”Aaagh!” Dorothea screamed out and after the entire battle, a few wrinkles even appeared on her face.

With both of her legs injured, she was no longer able to dodge Loris's attacks and it just began her being slashed over and over before Loris pierced Dorothea's heart while Meela pierced her lungs from behind, finally ending her suffering. After the entire battle what remained was completely bloodied corpse covered in numerous cuts lying on the ground.

”Look at her face, no wonder she called us kids, she is most likely even older than grandma Babara” Meela said while giving a frustrated look at Dorothea's wrinkled face.

”Are you alright, sis?” Loris asked with a worried expression.

”I am perfectly fine!” Meela turned at her twin sis as her angered expression changed to a big smile, she replied while flexing her biceps, still with a footprint over her face.
